The reply received from "Panch" to Mr. Gilbert Littlo's question, What is à Scotsmnir ?" to the effect that ho is "A man who has the supremo gift to hugh at himself," is calculated to upset some proconçoived notions of the Scot, and challonges familiar dicta ns to his inability to appre oilo humour. "Puncle's" ox-"" perience goes to support the "THE HOBBLE SKIRT." during allegation, for (so, the Editor informed Mr. Little971 lately) 75 por cont. of the jokos appearing in his columns contributed by those not on the permanent staff come from Sents- mon-including jokes which tell against the Seot. All the same, it is not overy Set who appre- cjatos humour directed against supposed idiosyncrasies of his nation. Only the other day a soathing letter appeared in the Edinburgh Evening Nows" from a correspondent protesting again t a reading from "The Man of tho World," given at an outertain- mont in, one

Ho was not a bit put out. · "Á vorra natural question," he acknow- lodged. It was like this, ye seo. In "Scotland overybody was as clover as myself," an'" I could mak' mething o't. But Bore,"

A CANON WHO DREAUS ITS

ABOLITION..

Canon Tupper Carey delivered à remarkablo address at a Lonton service for business mon at York, the other day when he spoke of the dunger of international peace. It was, ho said, one of the com monplaces of history that the charactor of a nation had never suffered in time of war, but it did deteriorate and degenerate in time of peace. Ponco had groter danger than war, and as Christions they had to ask themselves, in discuss- ing the question of universal prace, whether this or any other nation could got that stimulus of war when Dreadnoughts were scrapped and their regiments dis-

qualities which they admired so much in their soldiers and sailors?.

Was there any substituto for war ¦ which would call forth their on- thusiasm, love of adventure, val- our, heroism, and self-sacrifice?

Christ, Who was the Prince of Peace, never thought of the pouco which meant moral degeneration and death to a nation.

He believed that the substitute for war in the inculcation of these great qualities was nothing less than the evangelisation of the world. I-and it was quite pos- | sible they got universul peace and shrank from this call to ovangoliso the heatlien, then the peace which they obtained would assuredly not be the peace which
